English tourists Tom and Beth take a trip to the remote island of Almanzora off the Spanish coast. They discover there are no adults on the island, only children.

WHO CAN KILL A CHILD? was riddled with distribution problems. In an attempt to sell the movie, producers renamed it multiple times for different regions, including CHILDREN OF THE CORN TORTILLA and TRAPPED. Luckily, the film withstood the test of time and eventually became a cult classic. The film was remade in 2012 as COME OUT AND PLAY.

For this presentation, Spectacle will be showing THE ISLAND OF THE DAMNED cut of the movie. This version was the original release in the US, without the opening ten minutes of child murder documentary footage.
